The president spoke for around 90 minutes, mocking Joe Biden, attacking “radical left lunatics”, defending his global tariff war and promising more is to come.
It comes after polling data showed Trump to be one of the least popular presidents in history after 100 days in the White House.

"It's my solemn duty as commander-in-chief. I have an obligation to save our country."
Trump defended his trade war with China, saying the country has “taken more jobs from us than any country has ever taken from another country".
"I think it's going to work out," he added.
"They want to make a deal. We're going to make a deal. But it's going to be a fair deal."
Touching on the economy, Trump defended his record and claimed his administration had “already ended inflation.”

He said: "Interest rates came down, despite the fact that I have a Fed person who's not really doing a good job, but I won't say that. I want to be very nice. I want to be very nice and respectful to the Fed.
"You're not supposed to criticise the Fed. You're supposed to let him do his own thing. But I know much more than he does about interest rates, believe me.
"We're here tonight in the heartland of our nation to celebrate the most successful first 100 days of any administration in the history of our country," Trump concluded.
He added: "We've just gotten started. You haven't even seen anything yet."
